    I agree - Tip Top has to be the best ice-cream out there, creamiest as they come...................... and still as good as it ever was...........yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    I used to work at the HB Milk Corporation, and I've seen the vats............ kinda did put me off drinking the milk direct from cows too. But its tastes much nicer, I will say that

    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Got truck loads of pics from that era, just no scanner lol otherwise i'd go mad with it !
    The folks and my uncle and aunt rode most of NZ from when they immagrated till kids got in the way !
    Dad had dozens of bikes from AJ's to matchless's, Indians to BSA's
    I got blooded in 73 when i couldnt wait any longer and pinched my bro's BSA that he'd bought off dad, unfortunately at 13 i struggled to hold it up and put it back dinged lol !
